Easter Holidays School finishes at 2 pm this
Friday, 30th March for the Easter holiday. After
School Club is available until 4.30 p.m. that
day. We re-start at 8.55 a.m. (or from 7.45 a.m.
for Breakfast Club) on Monday, 16th April when
the Year 5s and 6s will be leaving for (we
hope) sunny Dorset. May I take this opportunity
to wish you a very happy holiday.
Easter Fair! Thank you if you helped at, or came
to the Easter Fair. It seemed that everyone had
an enjoyable time the hockey tournament was
certainly enjoyed by Class 4. In excess of 300
was raised, which will be helpful for the
transport fund, from which all pupils benefit. .
A few weeks ago, some of class 4 went to
Newent School for an inter-school gala. We swam
against Huntley, Redmarley and Hartpury. It was
a difficult competition as all the schools there
were VERY good! Nine people got into the finals,
either as first place or fastest second. The year
6 boys freestyle relay came first in their race,
so well done Adam, Bryn, Elliot and Josh Kell!
The year 5 girls got through to the finals in
the medley relay. Congratulations Chloe, Jess,
Amelia Hattie! And lastIy, I (Megan) got
through in the year 6 girl butterfly
individual. We do not know if we will be able to
go to the finals as due to a clash with another
final they have suggested alternative dates, but
we cannot go to one of the dates because we are
at PGL. By Megan Rayner, with help from Anya

Football versus Redmarley!   On the 21st March
here at Staunton and Corse we played against
Redmarley. We put in an excellent performance and
won the game 6-0. Everybody played their part,
but Jack Blackwell deserves a particular mention
as he scored a hat-trick. Another fine
performance from goalkeeper Elliot Finch again
meant the team failed to concede any goals
Elliot even managed to score, whilst in goal!  
Y3/4 Rugby Tournament   Players from Y3 4
(Finlay Rayner, Oliver Richardson, Ethan Adams,
Henry Larkins, Joél Carter, Jasmine Lowen, Alfie
Oakey, Dannie Mann and Anna Moody, Oscar Parr,
Fred Houldey) recently took part in a rugby
tournament at Highnam School. Despite some
serious opposition from Highnam Hempsted A and
B teams we managed 2 wins out of 5 matches an
excellent result after only a limited number of
coaching sessions.
PE Kits Daps Please could all parents check
that children have a PE T-Shirt, Shorts and Daps
with them in school every day. Could Class 1
parents please check that their children have
daps that fit them for use after the Easter
Holidays.
Lunch Money Please note that Edwards Ward have
increased the price of a school lunch to 2.10
from 16th April.
BOOK FAIR
for the children to start our book week. We took
over 400 and around 35 books are now in the
library as a result of this.
Swimming - Years one and two will start swimming
lessons after the Easter holidays.
Thank you for your support at the recent Book
Fair, and for the super costumes provided
PARKING AT SCHOOL Please could all drivers park
only in the allocated bays. It is amazing to see
cars blocking the line of sight to the pedestrian
crossing by parking in the coach bay when there
are plenty of spaces in the main car park.
Please consider the safety of all pupils.
